IN hot weather attach a length of string to a homing pigeon's leg and tie the other end to your ceiling rose. The bird will try to fly home, but instead will simply circle the room, creating a cooling breeze with it's constantly flapping wings. Place breadcrumbs and water on a stepladder in the middle of the room so that it can stop ocassionally for some rest and refreshment. Sorry. I just thought I'd make this thread even more surreal.
